The Nevada Union girls snowboard team went to Shasta with high expectations for the 2013 California Nevada Interscholastic Ski and Snowboard Federation championships – they met those expectations and came home with the title banner.

“It was a great season, and just a great group of kids,” Nevada Union coach Don Farber said.

The Miners were led, as they have been all season, by the dynamic duo of Drew Bernadett and Celine Holland.

Bernadett took second in the giant slalom with a two-run combined time of 1 minute, 44.2 seconds. Holland was fourth in the giant slalom with a time of 1:46.5. Holland finished only a tenth of a second slower than the third-place finisher, Ruby Wood of Tahoe Truckee. Colfax’s Nelly Steinhoff took first in the giant slalom with an impressive time of 1:37.8.

NU’s Faith Robichaud placed 14th and Morgan Shade placed 22nd to round things out for the Miners in the giant slalom.
